Bayern Munich director of sport Max Eberl has ruled any January signings or departures, amid interest in Christopher Nkunku and Chelsea 's enquirying about Mathys Tel. The Blues have been interested in forward Tel since last summer and have enquired over his availability this month amid Bayern’s interest in Nkunku.

Enzo Maresca could be tempted to sign a new striker this month, with Chelsea struggling to capitalise on numerous gilt-edged opportunities

Chelsea reportedly don’t want to lose Nkunku without a replacement lined up, such as maybe young Bayern striker Tel ... or perhaps Borussia Dortmund ’s Karim Adeyemi (who’s been linked before). That was a hot rumor again for a minute earlier today, but it’s already been debunked.
